Description

Sedum cauticola, Cliff-Dwelling Stonecrop, is native to Japan and makes a tough, hardy, drought-tolerant ground-cover that is ideal for dry gravel gardens. rockeries, stonewalls and roof gardens. It has a vigourous habit, attractive blue-grey foliage and showy pink flowers in the late summer to early autumn.

Sedum cauticola is still a taxonomically unresolved name and it is sometimes encountered by its synonym, Hylotelephium cauticola. There is also a cultivar going by the ghastly name 'Coca Cola', I can't discern any difference between it and the type species and I presume it's just another gimmicky marketing exercise dreamt up by some sad character trying to flog more plants.
